I actually went more of a turquoise blue for my card than true blue. I saw this fun snowy patterned paper that I had purchased YEARS ago (probably about 10 or more!), and I just HAD to use it. I also used some glitter paper from my stash, cardstock and letter dies from The Stamps of Life, a glitter enamel dot from Doodlebug Designs, and punches from Stampin' Up!

I think this turned SO fun! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

I punched it and layered it onto a green scallop punched cardstock piece, then added black liquid pearls. The sentiment was pieces together with a V E R Y old stamp set from my stash. Ink and cardstock are from The Stamps of Life, the patterned paper is from Michaels, and punches are from Stampin' Up! (circles )and EK Success (border).

I adore how these two papers work together, and they really help the other colors POP! SO fun! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
